Money Autopilot

A zero-cost opportunity radar for solo developers.

Money Autopilot monitors public job and bounty sources, scores matches against a developer profile, deduplicates results, and generates application drafts for manual review.

Why

Finding freelance and remote opportunities is repetitive. This tool automates the discovery and filtering layer while keeping outreach manual and platform-safe.

Features

• Fetches public opportunities from Remotive, Hacker News, and GitHub Issues.
• Scores each opportunity against a configurable skill profile.
• Deduplicates previously seen links.
• Generates Markdown reports.
• Creates first-draft outreach messages.
• Runs once or continuously on a schedule.
• Supports macOS LaunchAgent background execution.

Demo Output

See examples/example-report.md.

Tech Stack

• Python
• Public web APIs
• Markdown report generation
• JSON configuration and local state
• macOS launchd

Example Workflow

1. Configure your skills and preferred work types.
2. Run the script hourly.
3. Open the latest report.
4. Review the top 3 opportunities.
5. Edit and send the generated draft manually.

Design Principle

The tool does not auto-submit applications or spam platforms. It automates discovery, filtering, and drafting, while keeping final outreach under human control.

Quick Start

cp config.example.json config.json
python3 money_autopilot.py --config config.json

The script writes:

• latest.md
• reports/
• state/seen.json

What I Would Improve Next

• Better source-specific scoring.
• Email or Telegram notifications.
• A tiny web dashboard.
• More paid issue and bounty sources.
• Local analytics for response rates.
